I am using a variable below.
var newInput = {
title: this.inputTitle.value,
entry: this.inputEntry.value
};
This is used by my i
Let me assume that you have done the 'this' binding of 'sendThru' function.
The below functions clears the input fields when the method is triggered.
sendThru() {
this.inputTitle.value = "";
this.inputEntry.value = "";
}
Refs can be written as inline function expression:
ref={el => this.inputTitle = el}
where el
refers to the component.
When refs are written like above, React sees a different function object each time so on every update, ref will be called with null immediately before it's called with the component instance.
